Databases

The SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System
The SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is a Digital Library portal for researchers in Astronomy and Physics, operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) under a NASA grant. The ADS maintains three bibliographic databases containing more than 8.9 million records: Astronomy and Astrophysics, Physics, and arXiv e-print.

Inspec This link opens in a new window
Includes bibliographic citations and indexed abstracts from publications in the fields of physics, astronomy, astrophysics, and many more.
Web of Science: Core Collection This link opens in a new window
Contains citations and searchable author abstracts, covering scholarly literature in journals, books and conference proceedings. Includes: Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, Arts and Humanities Citation Index, Book Citation Index, Conference Proceedings Citation Index, Current Chemical Reactions, Index Chemicus, and Emerging Sources Citation Index. Additional resources available by selecting from the dropdown list next to the Core Collection heading.

NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED)
The NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) provides a multi-wavelength fusion of data for millions of objects outside the Milky Way galaxy. It is built around a master list of extragalactic objects for which cross-identifications of names have been established, accurate positions and redshifts entered to the extent possible, and some basic data collected. Bibliographic references relevant to individual objects have been compiled, and abstracts of extragalactic interest are kept online.

Detailed and referenced photometry, position, and redshift data, have been taken from large compilations and from the literature. NED also includes images from 2MASS, from the literature, and from the Digitized Sky Survey. NED's data and references are being continually updated, with revised versions being put online every 4-6 months.
INSPIRE - High Energy Physics Database
CERN, DESY, Fermilab and SLAC have built the next-generation High Energy Physics (HEP) information system, INSPIRE. It combines the successful SPIRES database content, curated at DESY, Fermilab and SLAC, with the Invenio digital library technology developed at CERN. INSPIRE is run by a collaboration of CERN, DESY, Fermilab, IHEP, and SLAC, and interacts closely with HEP publishers, arXiv.org, NASA-ADS, PDG, HEPDATA and other information resources.
CERN Document Server (European Organization for Nuclear Research)
Access articles, reports and multimedia content in High-Energy Physics
NASA Technical Reports Server
Access aerospace-related citations, full-text documents, images and videos. Includes a broad array of resources, such as conference papers, journal articles, photos, graphs, meeting papers, movies, patents, research reports, and technical videos.
ARIBIB (Astronomisches Rechen-Institut Bibliographical Database for Astronomical References)
The ARIBIB is an on-line database for astronomical bibliography. The bibliographical information is given in following formats: Image format, Index format or Reference format - all of them without abstracts.

ScienceDirect This link opens in a new window
Access (searching and browsing) journals and eBooks published by Elsevier and its partners. Covers most disciplines, including science, medicine, economics and the social sciences.

Preprints

What is a preprint?

A preprint is a scholarly research paper that is not yet published, but may have been accepted for publication in a journal or presentation at a research conference.

arXiv
